Telling the stories, the toils the hopes and the triumphs of our generations, this is my art. Interpretive Museums let me create a sculpture to foreshadow the story told inside. Above is the Richard I. Bong WWII Heritage Center in Superior, WI. It tells the story of America’s Ace of Aces. He is one man celebrated to symbolize everyone who toiled and sacrificed for their country.

In my heart, I designed this for my father, Leo LaDouceur, a 101st Screaming Eagle, who was shot and paralyzed on Operation Market Garden into Arnhem, Netherlands.
